OUTPUT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg, May 30.

New production plants now getting underway in South Africa may well make this country one of the biggest sources of uranium in the world within the next few years.

Uranium worth anything up to £100,000,000 sterling is likely to be recovered from 26 or more mines every year when South Africa's full produc- tion programme gets under way.
